Centre for Research in Race and Rights co-director and American Studies professor wins British Academy Engagement Award

American and Canadian Studies professor and co-director of the Centre for Research in Race and Rights Zoe Trodd has won a British Academy Rising Star Engagement Award, to fund the founding year of the UK's first centre for research in race and rights. The year's activities will develop a regional (Midlands) base for public engagement activities that has early career researchers and external knowledge exchange partners at its heart. With a range of profile-raising network events, capacity-building and training, the project has a two-fold engagement: expanding beyond the University of Nottingham's early career researchers community to reach other early career researchers in the Midlands region; and consolidating non-academic partnerships to create a sustainable network of scholars and race/rights practitioners for impact and knowledge exchange collaborations.
